I also have the PDF X-Change Editor Plus (version 10.0.1 build 371) installed and configured as PDF previewer. For me, there is no delay starting a preview. Even a 10 MB PDF file with more than 300 pages is displayed in a second. Also, no problem switching between PDFs in the results while preview i...

horst.epp

That may only work if the preview is provided by Everything itself.
Most of the preview modules are 3rd party software which doesn't have an API to make this.

: is not illegal in Windows NTFS file names.
It just adds an ADS stream part to a file.
No program is expected to handle such strange usage of : as normal part of a file name.

This would be really amazing to have, currently I am finding myself constantly toggling between detail and thumbnail just to get an idea of what the item looks like. Its not ideal, switching between the two views, its easy to loose track of what one is looking at. Why don't you enable the preview f...

Thanks! A user popup should be fine. It may be you can provide an option for those that want to trial the draft feature and give feed back - perhaps similar switches for other features, or just a generalised option could cover all early pioneering work?

I don't know very well the use of expressions, I copied the string as it is in the search field but I don't get any results. I get something by just writing the part regex:"^(.*) rev ([a-z])(.*)$" but obviously these are not the needed results. Am I doing something wrong? I guess you need...

Look on the settings again.
And also on the properties of the link which starts Everything
specially on the Compatibility tab.

You didn't follow the recommendation for the Everything installation.
- Install the Service
- Don't let it running as Administrator.

I also use the MailDir format since many years.
To quickly find mails, I let Everything index the content of the Thunderbird eml files.

horst.epp

Font names are not part of the content.
Maybe a binary search can help here.

The idea here is to have copies of all versions from the past. So you have a chance to get an intact version of the corrupt file. That also assumes that the date/time (& or size) did in fact change. With silent corruption, that likely will not be the case. One benefit of ZPAQ is that it uses SH...

My way to reduce problems with long time undetected file corruption. I make ZPAQ based backups into one archive for my portable Everything installation. This excludes the database, of course. ZPAQ's deduplicating reduces the size of this archive, so only changed blocks are added with each backup. Th...

horst.epp

Install and test some other free PDF preview handler.
SumatraPDF
PDF-XChange

That depends on the preview handler used for PDFs
and is not under control of Everything.
Did you test it in Windows Explorer ?

Sorry, but this is the most useful function in Word. How often do you edit a template ? The only way from Everything would be using a command line switch for Word but I don't see one. So you have to program it using VBA or what ever. Your other reason for feeling sorry is valid too: You don't see a...

Maybe he sometimes runs Total Commander in enhanced mode.
Then it will not work if Everything is running with normal privileges as suggested
and the Total Commander settings do not allow multiple instances.

Everything optionally has an index for offline volumes but how should it compare folder content if only the metadata is there ? That is in no way a real folder compare as any file man...

horst.epp

Opened is not locked, as a program can set to share the file with others.
The current Version of Microsoft PowerToys contains the LockSmith module
which delivers a context menu entry "What's using this file".

Currently, there is no animated GIF or PNG explorer preview handler.
No problem for file managers which integrate IrfanView for previews,
it displays such animated images fine.

You simply have added folder indexing for an NTFS formatted drive
which is automatically indexed.

May I suggest

Code: Select all

This way it works whatever the name of the script is.
